Sky+ has lost the time...

Has anybody else had this fault yet?

While watching a recorded programme an hour ago, I noticed that the
time was no longer being displayed when I pressed Select, or when
navigating up and down channels from that point.

I didn't mind too much, until I went to watch the next recorded
programme, at which point it told me "This programme has not started
yet", as it did for every recorded programme in my Sky+ planner.

I'm hoping a power cycle might cure it, but it'll have to wait as I'm
recording Life On Mars at the moment... or am I? :-(

Probably not. Suspect if you reboot it'll come up as "Failed". Mine
did.
Everything seems to be working now, though.

Same here (West Yorks, Thomson 80GB). Seems to have sorted itself now.
Whatever caused it, it left two entries for Life on Mars & Prison Break on
my planner for today. I think the EPG was screwed - I could not see
anything for any channel past on the Sky Guide.

full. had to reset twice now ok

Yes, should be sorted, I posted on DS about my findings, realising it was BBC1
that was caused the boxes to lose EPG on all channels, I let Sky and BBC know,
though Sky at first tried to say they haven't heard of any problems!

Well, it wasn,t! I Get BBC East (for some reason that I've never
understood, because the terrestrial service comes form Crystal Palace) and
I, too, nearly suffered a full disk. Anyway, since when was Corry a BBC
programme? I was recording two programmes concurrently (East Enders and
Hellboy (Yeah - I know - sad)) which both started on time but would never
have stopped except I noticed the box still recording when I went to bed.
Could the BBC fault have disrupted everything else as well, or is this
something else I've yet to learn about the way the EPG works?

The BBC problem was causing the EPG to go haywire on all channels. If you
didn't leave box on or recording a BBC channel the EPG was fine.
